How long does it take to make a FOLKERS & POWELL flute?
A one-keyed flute takes about 15 hours, spread over a minimum of three years (however we do a lot of the work in advance so that we can deliver each model quickly when we receive an order for it). Keyed flutes take twice or three times as many hours. We don’t count the time spent on research, experiment, office work and record-keeping, etc., which takes up the rest of our waking hours!
